I'm making plans to catch the Valencia race next year, and will be flying in from the states, spending a week or so in the area, and then heading down to Morocco.

I am hoping someone has some experience or advice to share about anything, but specifically in the areas of favorite grandstands at the circuit, and what is the best plan of attack for securing tickets.

I would prefer purchasing tickets directly through the circuit, but I am not sure if that is possible or not. I would rather avoid getting them through Dorna, with their ridiculous markup as well.

Any word on some of the many brokers/agents out there? I will do it through one of them if I have to, but I am wary of buying tickets through a third party vendor in another country.
